WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-NY17/Rockland-Westchester), Ranking Member on the House Appropriations Committee and its Subcommittee on State and Foreign Operations, issued the following statement on missing journalist and U.S. resident Jamal Khashoggi:

“I am deeply concerned by the disappearance of journalist and U.S. resident Jamal Khashoggi at Saudi Arabia’s consulate in Turkey.
